During the heyday of modernism in the fifties and sixties, the sideboard was traditionally used for serving food and displaying serviceware in middle-class and prosperous households across the US, and Europe—particularly the United Kingdom, France, Scandinavia, Italy, and Belgium. Postwar home owners would typically dedicate one room solely for dining and use these high quality storage cabinets crafted in a variety of the finest woods, such as oak, teak, walnut, rosewood, mahogany, and cherry wood. Unlike other earlier, more ornate styles of cabinetmaking, mid-century sideboards feature clean lines and polished finishes, especially those created by Scandinavian artisans.

Mid-century postwar manufacturers often combined machine and handcraft production methods to achieve the highest quality in modernist design, which is why the pieces from that time are still so desirable today. Designers and makers such as Arne Vodder, Cees Braakman, George Nelson, Hans J. Wegner, and Robert Heritage were influential engineers and changed the way the world looked at furniture. If you’re looking for inspiration, we’re fond of timeless, Scandinavian beauties like the Danish Rosewood Sideboard by Axel Christensen for ACO Mobler (1960) and the Mid-Century Rosewood Sideboard by Gunni Omann for Omann Jun (1960s). But talented Italians like Osvaldo Borsani and Paolo Buffa produced storage pieces with an undeniable elegance too.

We make shopping easy and convenient by delivering right to your door with the utmost care. Find your mid-century sideboard on Pamono, where every piece tells a story.
